I am new to Linux, so I may ask very stupid questions.Can I use my cdÂ´s that I have written under microsoft windows (cdÂ´s and dvdÂ´s full of stuff),
I am afraid that linux wont read those cdÂ´s and dvdÂ´s.

Linux seems to have a problem reading the Windows Vista cds and dvds when files are just dragged and dropped in windows. Of course, so does every other operating system except Vista....

Hell, Vista has a hard time reading normal discs at my work place. I'll pop in a disc and vista will try to format it into udf. The disc is already got something on in too! Vista is a pain in the ass. Just the other day I had to fix my boss's computer because a glitch in Vista made Vista not be able to recognize he had dvd burners/ cd burners/ cd rom drives and things like that.
